The Federal Government says work on the Abuja-Kano Road project will resume this week.
Minister of Works, David Umahi, who made this known at a meeting with contractors in Abuja, explained that the work was hesitated due to disagreements over price variations, delays and funding challenges.
He, however, said the ministry has resolved the outstanding challenges with the contractors handling the project, and on the Lagos-Calabar highway project, Umahi hinted that six lanes have been put down, especially from sections two, three and four.
The Minister stated that so far sections three and four of the project were being finalized, adding that the Federal Government is committed to delivering road projects across Nigeria.
He also disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given a matching order to begin the design of the Sokoto–Badagary road, saying the road would be a six-lane project and its economic values touches various facets.
